Voigtlander 40mm F2 Ultron SL II Full-Frame Lens (2007)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Voigtlander 40mm F2 Ultron SL II is a manual-focus normal prime lens for Canon EF-mount, Nikon F-mount, and Pentax K-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Voigtlander in 2007, it has 6 elements in 5 groups.
Manual focus may be limiting to some, but purists will find it much more engaging. There are also fewer things to go wrong on the long run. Unfortunately, Voigtlander has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
A normal prime lens, the Voigtlander 40mm F2 Ultron SL II does not boast the brightest apertures, though it still may be worth a try for landscape and street photography.
